STRAINED RELATIONS.
Boston, July 3O-Instead Of the
Russian government ceasing war on
German commerce, as promised by
Ambassador Schomalof, fresh meas
ures for paralyizing trading relations
are either impending or already in
operation. Under Schomalotf's assur-
ances the crusade against Russian
stocks ceased during the week. Rus
sian securities have been neither
bought nor sold, but the anti-Russian
feeling again excited by a fresh
display of hostility on the part of the
St. Petersburg government will not
now be allayed until some practical
che,k is given the systematic persecu-
ton OF Germans by Russians. Not
only have the interests OF the financial
community been threatened, but the
government has also sustained an af-
front in the reception OF communi-
cation sent from st. Peters
burg. Aiming at friendlier relations
,nGen. Won Schwerinitz, acting under
Dinstructions from Bismarck, made
overtures to M. de Giers, the Russian
minister of foreign affairs, suggesting
modification, or delay, in the opera
ton of the ukase, affecting foreigners
holding land IN Russia. M. de Giers.
after ministerial counsel, replied that
the law upon which the imperial ukase
was based could not be modified or its
operation delayed. At the same time
negotiations, the object of which was
to obtain special exception in the
cases of Princes Radziwill and Hohen-
lohe and other German dignitares
who are land owners in western Rus
sia, met with court reflections.
SERIOUS ASPECT.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 30.--The cabi-
net has succeeded in atironting and
offending high place dignitaries and
the whole German commercial world.
Russian ofiicialism shows similar
spirit to that of the ministry, an in
stance of which is the revival of the
.Iyontier law which had long since
8psed under which persons crossing
THE frontier are not permitted to carry
German coinage OF denomination
less than "thaler" OF gold money.
WILL BE RULED oFF THE MARKET.
BERLIN, July 30.--The measures
which the riechstag bad under consid-
Grafton to prevent German investments
in Russian paper and were dropped
under promise OF IL restoration of har-
monious relations are again under dis
cussion, and it is expected that the re-
suit will be the absolute exclusion OF
the new Russian loans from the Ger
man market.
WILL NOT MEET.
There is no whisper of the meeting
ofthe czar and Emperor William. The
former is to go to Copenhagen August
lst, without touching .at ~ German
port.
GERMANY SPARED.
The annual report of the elders of the
Berlin Mercantile Community refer
ring to extensive strikes ard socialistic
demonstrations during the year of 1856
A.in America, London, Belgium and
.$Franee, draws the inference that Ger
" many was spared similar incidents
largely through the beneficial opara-
ton of government legislation.
PREDICTS A REIGN OF TERROR.
The Deutsche Tagblatt says it has in
formation that General Boulanger is
concerned in the intrigue with the Rus
sian ambassador, and the Russian gov.
ernment is being convinced that Bou-
langer will return to power and
is bounded to take concerted
action with Russia against Germany
The Tagblatt predicts an early state
of anarchy in France aud the estab
lislment of reign Of terror when it is
certain, says the paper that the gap
on the Vosges will play the role OF
safety valve, for which emergency
Germany must be ready. Latest ad
vices from Alsace-Loraine prove tina,
the gap will be fully watched during
the coming maneuvres of French
troops.

privilege has led to the revival O
protestant agitations against furthe
concessions.
